Policies & Procedures
Policy: 8301
Membership in student clubs and organizations is limited to current students of the College. The club or organization may be registered for recognition by filing the appropriate compliance forms in the Office of Student Life.
All groups operating within the College, including academic and non-academic employees, Student Government Association, and student clubs, organizations, and programs sponsored by the College are governed by a policy of non-discrimination. Any student club or organization recognized by the College is required to have a membership policy accepting students without regard to race, creed, color, national origin, age, ancestry, nationality, marital or domestic partner or civil union status, sex, pregnancy, gender identity or expression, disability, liability for military service, affectional or sexual orientation, atypical cellular or blood trait genetic information. See policy 7011 Harassment and Discrimination. Clubs and organizations using College facilities for meetings or events will allow participation on a non-discriminatory basis.
The bylaws developed by individual student clubs and organizations will be consistent with College policy and administrative procedures including, but not limited to, those addressing the use of College facilities, the use of alcoholic beverages, and the Student Code of Conduct (see administrative procedure 8007). Faculty or staff advisors are to be present at all College-sponsored student club or organization sponsored travel and trips.
Student Government Association
The Student Government Association is directed by student executive officers, sophomore senators, and freshmen senators. The Student Government Association is responsible for encouraging and fostering student involvement in student government, participation in College activities, and informed, responsible citizenship in the College community. It serves as a forum on which the numerous and diverse needs of the student body may be expressed. The Student Government Association serves as a link between the student body and the administration.
